PUR FM-2000B Classic Summary

Summary

The PUR FM-2000B Classic has a nice design with a smooth black color and a LED to measure the filter life. Although, this LED is usually unreliable and can't be trusted. Water flow is a bit slow and the filter life is 100 gallons.

What’s inside the New PUR 3-Stage Filter?

PUR RF-9999 MineralClear Faucet Replacement

Let’s take a look at what this new and improved filter can do:

Provides up to 100 gallons of crystal clean water

Removes 99% of lead and microbial cysts, certified to reduce many other contaminants

Reduces trace levels of pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical reduction is not certified by NSF/ANSI or state standard

Filters water over natural minerals for a crisp, refreshing taste

Replaces previous 3-stage filter

The improved filters don’t filter water through stages anymore but instead the water comes in from all sides and slowly flows into the stage 1 area, trapping any large sediment that may get in.

There the water hits the Activated Charcoal which filters out many of the impurities and then it goes into the center of the filter. Stage 3 are Natural Minerals which which gives the water a crisp clean taste.

What Do The Customers Have To Say?

Recent reviews seem to be a little mixed. There are not many complaints as far as the filter is concerened it’s about the unit.

It seems that it’s very difficult to get a proper hosing for there filters. This is because each faucet is unique and has different flow strength. Some faucets are fast, some are slow.

This affects the plastic housing of the unit and the connectors.

Concluding Thoughts

Probably one of the best PUR models on the market, other than the PUR Advanced filter. It comes in black or white and costs the same price.

For such a low price this one is one of the best filters on the market with pretty good replacement filters. You do need to change the filters every 100 gallons – or about every 3 months.

Higher priced faucet filters will allow you to extened this up to 200 – 250 gallons but for this price it is very good. I am going to give the PUR FM-2000B Classic an 8.2/10.

The PUR PFM400H Bluetooth faucet water filter is one of the most advanced filters on the market. You may be asking yourself, why would you need a Bluetooth water filter?

The Bluetooth function allows you to connect to the PUR App on your phone and get a ton of cool information.

You can see how many ounces of water have been dispensed, water consumption goals, and of course the health of filter.

For the price you can’t get anything like this one.

This new model stands out as having a new and improved water meter, probably the best you can find. The overall design is different from most other faucet filters in that it’s horizontal.

This can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your faucet set up. It does include a Lithium Ion battery inside the filter that cannot be replaced, so once it dies you will need to replace the filter if you want the Bluetooth functionality.

Several Different Styles

Each style offers something different. The chrome and Chrome with Bluetooth come the most highly recommended, whereas the basic black and white models have been been prone to cracking and replacement in only a few months.

The white and black models are made out of plastic and therefore don’t last as long as the other models.

Each style uses the same filter but the housing is made out of different material and the plastic seem to be not built as well as the stainless steel.

Also, the stainless steel model is the only one that includes the Bluetooth function.

PUR PFM400H Facuet Filter Summary

Summary

The Bluetooth function makes this filter one of the most unique and high tech filters currently on the market. The design is already but if you ask me it's a bit bulky and they could have made it smaller.

What Do The Customers Have To Say?

The water tastes great and is clear and you can tell all the common tap water contaminants have been removed. The Bluetooth option is great for people that wan’t to track how much water they are using or drinking per day.

This may be hard to calculate though since you may use water for other purposes. Nevertheless, you have to admit it is a pretty cool feature.

The biggest complaint regarding the PUR PFM400H is the design. It’s too bulky for most people and this is most likely due to all the circuitry inside the device to allow for the digital sensor to detect the amount of water being expended.

The unit does leak for some after a few months but by far the biggest complaint of this unit is the rather large bulky design.

Concluding Thoughts

Everything is great about the PUR PFM400H except for the bulky design. It has a much faster flow rate than most faucets but it is large, so it will get in the way.

Overall I am giving this filter a solid 8.3 due to the fact that everything but the design is great. If it were a bit more sleek this filter would easily get a 10/10 score.
